Nursing Home Reimbursement: Beginning to End

The Family Support Division (FSD), Department of Health and Senior Services Central Office Medical Review Unit (DHSS COMRU), and the MO HealthNet Division (MHD) have collaborated to create a new resource for nursing facility providers. We are excited to announce, Nursing Home Reimbursement: Beginning to End.

This resource will walk a provider through the process of nursing home reimbursement from the very beginning of an individual applying for coverage, through the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) process, to billing and receiving payment for services. The resource includes step-by-step instructions for each process, definitions, contact information, and more.

For additional training opportunities, check out the below:

  • MHD offers an interactive webinar for nursing home providers quarterly. This training covers navigating MO HealthNet provider resources, proper billing methods, procedures for claim filing via eMOMED, and more. This training includes an opportunity to ask questions in real-time. Review the MHD Provider Training Calendar here.
  • COMRU PASRR and Level of Care (LOC) Orientation Training, hosted by COMRU, has a monthly orientation training to review the requirements of the PASRR and the Nursing Facility LOC application process.
